(Occurrence 0) Then who is their father?

(Some words not found in UHB: and,answered (a)_man from=there and=he/it_said and,who father,their on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in yes/correct/thus/so she/it_was as,proverb ?,also Shāʼūl in/on/at/with,prophets )

This man uses a rhetorical question to remind people that being a prophet has nothing to do with who one’s parents are. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this question as a statement. Alternate translation: “It does not matter who the parents of these other prophets are. What matters is that, amazingly, Saul is speaking messages from God.”

Note 2 topic: writing-proverbs

(Occurrence 0) Because of this, it became a saying, “Is Saul also one of the prophets?”

This became a proverb among the Israelites. Apparently people said this to express surprise when a person unexpectedly did something that he had not done before. The implied meaning of the question can be stated explicitly. Alternate translation: “And that is why, when people cannot believe some report, they think about what happened to Saul and say, ‘Is Saul really one of the prophets?’” (See also: figs-explicit)
